Deaf Friends, I extend my sincerest welcome to you for all the Jaycees on this 18th Annual presentation of the Miss Miami Beach Pageant. This pageant is a preliminary to the Miss Florida and Miss America Pageant and is one of many being held locally throughout the nation. Our Junior Chamber of Commerce sponsors and conducts this pag eant as part of its leadership training program for young men ages 21-35. This pageant has given the Jaycees the opportunity of organizing, planning and putting into operation a project of coordinated leadership and delegated responsibility. The aim of our organization on a local, state, national and internation al basis is to develop leadership in young men so that they will step forward as the leaders of tomorrow. It is an egotistical organization in the sense that it concentrates its efforts on developing and training the individual to be strong, responsible, and self-reliant while giving him the opportunity to experiment and participate in leadership activities by committee work, com munity participation, public speaking, Parliamentary procedure and other projects designed with the ultimate leadership goal. I have listed some of our community projects below. My sincerest thanks of appreciation are extended to our contestants, judges, prize donors, JC pageant committee, and Carillon Hotel who have all contributed immeasurably to the success of this evening. Finally, I ex tend thanks and best wishes to our audience for an enjoyable time.
Cordially,
SAMUEL I. LEFF, Pres. Miami Beach Junior Chamber of Commerce "The Jaycees” Myron Lubell Glenda Sue Shuman General Chairman Miss Hospitality
